To determine whether the passage contains a tense inconsistency error, we need to analyze the verb tenses used in the sentence. In this case, the verb tense shifts from the past tense ("start") to the present tense ("ended"). This inconsistency in verb tense is incorrect and results in a tense inconsistency error.
Corrected version: In college, he and a friend started a band, but they ended it soon and moved to New York City.
